And I realize I can't let Straker completely off the
hook (as much as I might like to!). His biggest sin
is his complete lack of imagination. Ed could have
told Mary lot's of things without compromising SHADO's
security. It could have been as simple as "I've been
given a lot more responsibility. There's something
very important I have to accomplish and I'm going to
have to work almost 24 hours a day for some time to do
it. I'd rather be here with you, but people (or my
country) are counting on me." And then he could quote
a little poetry to her - the poem I have in mind goes
something like "I could not love, thee, near so well,
my dear, loved I not honor more". (Just don't vilify
me for a misquote, I haven't read it in decades!)

Even though Mary saw the evidence that suggest Ed was
having an affair, I don't think the marriage was
irrevocably over. She woke up in the hospital wanting
Ed. He probably had a chance to explain then if he
had been there. It's that darned Alec Freeman again!




Diorte:

I was in a situation similar to what we have been discussing. I gave my
husband the choice of me or the 24/7/365. He was not in the military, but once
was ordered back to work during a vacation, leaving me alone in Germany (Where
he wanted to go) where I did not speak the language and having a Jewish
background, was very uncomfortable, so say the least.

His boss gave my husband the same choice. He chose me. BUT in SHADO land,
once you are in, your in. I doubt Freeman could get into the middle of the
marriage unless he was allowed to - by Straker, and because Straker already know
in his heart the you can't have two marriages's - Mary and SHADO. Ed had to
make a choice and saving the earth was saving the lives of the people he loved.
